Full day tour to the Sacred Valley from Cusco

Join us for an unforgettable adventure through the Sacred Valley of the Incas, one of the main attractions of Cusco. Discover ancient Inca cities and enjoy stunning views along the Urubamba River. Our full-day itinerary includes visits to historical sites such as Chinchero, Moray, Salineras de Maras, Ollantaytambo and Pisac. Learn about Inca architecture, customs, and mysteries from our expert guides while enjoying the stunning landscapes.

Start of Tours 
  • Cusco - Peru and pick up from hotel 6.00AM
End of Tours 
  • Time and Location: The tour typically concludes between 6:30 PM and 7:00 PM at Plaza Regocijo, which is conveniently located near Plaza de Armas. This is the designated endpoint of the tour.
  • Drop-Off in Ollantaytambo: You have the option to conclude your tour in Ollantaytambo at approximately 3:30 PM. This is especially convenient for those who plan to travel to Machu Picchu later in the afternoon or wish to spend more time exploring the picturesque town of Ollantaytambo. Please be aware, however, that if you choose to stay in Ollantaytambo, you will not visit Pisac, as it is on the route back to Cusco.

Sacred Valley Tour Itinerary

  • Day 1: CUSCO - CHINCHERO - MORAY - SALINERAS DE MARAS - PISAC - OLLANTAYTAMBO

    Sacred Valley of the Incas, starting at 6:00 AM  We’ll drive you for 45 minutes to Chinchero. At Chinchero, our guide will show you around the old Inca site and a beautiful old church. You’ll also get to meet a local family and see how they make traditional fabrics with natural dyes.

    Next, we’ll visit Moray to see its amazing round terraces built by the Incas. Our guide will tell you about the history of the place and you’ll have time to take pictures and look around.

    Then, we’ll head to the Maras salt mines. You’ll learn how the salt is harvested and see some unique salt crafts. There will be plenty of chances to take photos.

    We’ll stop in the lovely town of Urubamba for a tasty buffet lunch around 12:30 PM. After lunch, we go to Ollantaytambo and tour the archaeological site there, finishing around 3:00 PM. If you’d like to end your tour in Ollantaytambo, you can choose to stay.

    Lastly, we drive to the Pisac archaeological site. Our guide will take you around the terraces and you can take more stunning photos.

    We plan to be back in Cusco by about 6:30 PM, after a full day of discovering the history and beauty of the Inca lands.

    • When planning your trip, please note that travel time between destinations can range from 30 minutes to one hour by car. During these journeys, you’re not just traveling; you’re already beginning to enjoy the stunning views of the Sacred Valley.
    • At each site you visit, you will have between 30 minutes and an hour to explore and deeply appreciate its historical and cultural significance.
    • For those who have not yet purchased a tourist ticket, there is no need to worry. You can buy one at Chinchero, which is our first stop on the tour.

     

    Why choose this tour? Unlike standard Sacred Valley tours, this full-day itinerary includes all of the Sacred Valley's major highlights—Chinchero, Moray, Maras Salt Mines, Pisac, and Ollantaytambo—in a single day. Many lower-priced tours visit fewer sites and follow a shorter itinerary. If you prefer a slower pace with more time at each destination, we also recommend our 2-Day Sacred Valley Tour, offering a more relaxed and immersive experience.

A memorable Short Inca Trail experience

We did the Short Inca Trail as a couple with Wari Expeditions and really enjoyed the experience. The hike was moderately challenging, but we had time to take in the scenery along the way. Visiting Wiñay Wayna and arriving at Machu Picchu through the Sun Gate were highlights for us.

Excellent experience

The full-day tour to the Sacred Valley was an incredible experience. Everything was very well organized, from the punctual pick-up to the comfortable transportation. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly, and the sites we visited, such as Pisac, Ollantaytambo, and Moray, were absolutely breathtaking. The buffet lunch was also very good. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cusco!.
